I'd like to... *runs away*
Jun. 3rd, 2003 01:40 pmActually, no, I didn't run away. I came up to the counter, looked the cute Borders guy in the eye and said:
"Hi, I'd like to reserve the new Harry Potter."
"Ok, just fill this out, and it's a two pound deposit." Adorable Scottish accent, too.
"Actually, I, um, need 16 copies." *cringe* *wince* *die*
"Okay, that will be 32 pounds, then."
Pause.
"All right, um, do you accept credit cards?"
So, I filled out the little form, while the two cute Borders guys talked about HP (something having to do with dressing up as Dumbledore at some party?) while I laghed to myself, and then the first guy said:
"So, you're either buying these for friends, or you really really like Harry Potter."
I told him that yes, I really do like Harry Potter, but I am also getting these for friends. Then I told him that I thought about pretending to work at a school, but decided against it, and told him that most of these people are over 20. Ha. So, the only bad thing is that I had to charge the 32 quid on my emergency credit card. Ick. But at least we were all amused, and he didn't even blink twice when I said "sixteen". Go cute Scottish Borders guy.

So, I was going to do the whole LJ Friends Meme thing, and did it, but it was just too difficult, so I'm not posting it. There WAS one question, though, that I could answer, no problem.
Prettiest (or was it cutest?) couple: Why, Vonnie and Sarah, of course! *pets them*

That is it for now. Tralalalalala...
*wanders off*
